Summary: This study investigated the effect of earthquake frequency on the seismic response of a typical modern container crane. The results showed that frequency content influenced the seismic response of the crane, and ground motions with low PGA/PGV ratio values had a larger damage potential on the crane.

Summary: Observers accurately judged the duration of ball motions on an immersive virtual-reality display along different trajectories, with slightly superior discrimination for trajectories at constant tangential velocity compared to gravitational acceleration or constant vertical velocity. This suggests an opportunistic use of a moving frame attached to the target favoring visual tracking of targets with constant tangential velocity for slightly superior duration discrimination.

Summary: This study investigated the seismic response of a container crane under near-field and far-field ground motions using a 1/20 scale model. The results showed that near-field ground motions lead to larger internal forces and portal drift compared to far-field ground motions.

Summary: This paper summarizes the research progress on the seismic behaviour of structures under long-duration ground motions (LDGMs). It introduces the definitions and characteristics of ground motion (GM) durations, explains the generation mechanisms and characteristics of LDGMs, and presents investigations on numerical simulation, experimental research, and theoretical analysis of structures under LDGMs. Furthermore, it discusses the ductility, energy dissipation capacity, seismic fragility, and collapse resistance capacity of structures under LDGMs in detail. The paper also introduces the seismic design methods for structures under LDGMs and summarizes the structural seismic design codes considering the effects of LDGMs. Recommendations for future research are provided, emphasizing the need for more attention to the seismic responses of structures under LDGMs and further study on the definitions and characteristics of LDGMs to improve numerical simulation, theoretical analysis, and experimental research methods. Additionally, the seismic responses, seismic fragility, and collapse resistance capacity of structures under LDGMs should be investigated. This paper provides important references for considering the effects of LDGMs in the seismic design and seismic assessment of structures.

Summary: The study examines two different duration measures, real duration and expected-inflation duration, and finds cross-country differences in their responsiveness to changes in inflation expectations. It also shows the impact of under-protection and over-protection against inflation on asset values, as well as how real and expected-inflation duration can be utilized for hedging against changes in real interest rate and expected-inflation rate.

Summary: This study investigates the duration effects of near-fault ground motions on structural seismic responses and damage. The researchers propose velocity-based duration measures and suggest non-structural compound intensity measures incorporating these duration measures. The correlations between the intensity measures and duration measures, as well as their correlations with seismic responses, are examined. The study demonstrates that the acceleration-based absolute uniform durations have a strong correlation with acceleration-related intensity measures, while the velocity-based absolute uniform durations highly correlate with velocity- and displacement-related intensity measures.

Summary: The influences of feedstock feeding duration on the size and composition of synthesized nanoparticles using tandem-type modulated induction thermal plasma (tandem-MITP) with time-controlled feeding of feedstock (TCFF) were studied both experimentally and numerically. It was found that controlling the feedstock feeding time is desirable for nanoparticle synthesis, as it can control the formation and growth of nanoparticles. The experimentally obtained results were in good agreement with the numerically obtained results, indicating the effectiveness of controlling the feedstock feeding time.

Summary: The study utilized mixed models to estimate the direct and social effects on visit duration at the feeder of group-housed pigs, finding that visit duration at a single-space feeder was influenced by both direct and social effects when the replacement time between visits was less than 1 minute.

Summary: We study the dynamics of solutions to semilinear wave systems with time-varying damping and nonconvex force potential. Our result reveals the asymptotic stability of the solutions without bifurcation or chaos. We provide numerical simulations of dissipative sine-Gordon equation and dissipative Klein-Gordon equation to illustrate our theoretical findings.

Summary: The significant increase in Internet activity during the COVID-19 epidemic has led to the widespread use of offensive Bengali and Banglish texts on social media. Limited efforts have been made to identify and classify these offensive texts. This study introduces L-Boost, a detection mechanism utilizing a modified AdaBoost algorithm with LSTM models, which effectively identifies offensive messages, achieving an accuracy of 95.11%.

Summary: This study found that mothers of NICU infants who smoke or live with smokers are at higher risk of breastfeeding cessation, with factors such as education, length of stay, employment status, race/ethnicity, number of household smokers, and readiness to protect infants from tobacco smoke significantly associated with breastfeeding practices. Furthermore, infants who were breastfed for at least 4 months had more well-child visits and fewer respiratory-related clinic visits.

Summary: Pulse rate variability (PRV) is a method to assess the changes in pulse rate using pulsatile signals such as the photoplethysmogram (PPG). There are differences between PRV and heart rate variability (HRV), and it is hypothesized that these differences may be due to physiological processes or technical aspects. This study investigated the effects of using PPG signals with different duration for the extraction of PRV indices. The results suggest that PRV indices can be reliably estimated from ultra-short PPG signals, allowing for more efficient acquisition and processing of this variable.

Summary: Faster infant weight gain during exclusive breastfeeding predicted longer duration of breastfeeding, while slower early infant weight gain was consistently associated with earlier discontinuation of exclusive breastfeeding. Parents may benefit from understanding the wide range of normal infant growth to avoid prematurely stopping exclusive breastfeeding.

Summary: This study compared the non-destructive 'photography' method with the 'burrow excavation' method in estimating crab density, sex-ratio, and body sizes in a fiddler crab population. The results showed that there were no differences in the parameters estimated between the two methods. This suggests that the 'photography' method could be a suitable alternative to the 'burrow excavation' method.

Summary: Females often choose mates based on their courtship signals, but the reasons for this selection are often unclear. In the fiddler crab Austruca perplexa, male signals (major-claw waving rates) were found to be correlated with the characteristics of their defended resources (breeding burrows width and depth). By using these signals, females can predict the quality of the burrows and decide whether to inspect them. The honesty of these signals is beneficial for both sexes and can easily evolve in their signaling system.

Summary: This study found that during the day, the burrow temperature of Austruca perplexa crabs was lower than the soil temperature, but higher at night. The air temperature was mostly lower than the soil or burrow temperatures. This suggests that A. perplexa crab burrows can regulate the internal temperature and provide a suitable temperature environment for the crabs.
